Hi All,
Just spent few hours with my ACR (silver)
just have some concerns & suggestions:
1. The back of the phone is very slippery.
Suggestion: Just purchase a transparent case from Sony shop
2. NOT able to play various video files using arcMedia, is there any solution?? These files were working on my X10i.
3. Facebook contact pics are blurred during call, any solution??
There's lots of Video players on the market that will play other formats.. someone was suggesting vplayer in a thread I read the other day, but all my vids are mp4 so I don't have a problem..
Facebook stores the pics at low res so when the phone syncs your contact pics to your phone then you get a low res pic.. nothing you can do about that other than putting your own contact pics on there..

mobo player, rock player both can play any known video format
Issue : Not able to sort contacts by Last Name/First Name instead of by default First Name/Last Name : it's crazy.

Solution: Using "Lock Screen widget" simple one click to Lock & Off the screen
Has anyone found a web thumbnail widget like the one on the x10.

Issue: loud speaker at the back died half way through a video. Hardware failure.

1. If you press the home button while charging + screen off, nothing happened and got your phone to show a blank screen and you need to release the battery.
2. HEAT PROBLEM! My old X10i with 9 background application is more cooler than this thing, hope next update from SE solve this problem.
I have none of those problems till now
Only the extreme washed out screen when the angle is not direct is a little disturbing but I think it's normal to be shocked when coming from Amoled to LCD

In my case the screen is a little bit darker and yellowish while showing white color. Any one experienced this?

Assuming you're on Windows 7 (or Vista), look for the 'Wildlife' video under Videos -> Sample Videos...Now play that on your Galaxy S2 for some serious AMOLED'gasm.
Will try it out, ty for the tip

Weird...It's just a 720p WMV file, played right away on my stock KJ2 player. Whatever custom ROM/video player you're running might not like WMV files, who knows.
Cyanogenmod and miui don't have Samsung media codecs, could be your problem if your running any of those roms.

MX video player plays everything.
Especially with Bravia engine.
Bravia engine?
Edit: Just seen some screenshots, it looks sharper, but I probably won't notice a difference unless put side by side.

Some say the Bravia engine does not work on SGS2 and the thread has been locked .
True test requires two phones side by side .

Cant find it Somebody probably deleted it, since we share our Windows 7 laptop.
And I love showing of my Amoled beauty :'(

Nice indeed :>
For those missing the Wildlife video, you can get it here:
http://www.archive.org/download/Windows7WildlifeSampleVideo/Wildlife.wmv
one another good video is big buck bunny with a 10min length. you can download it here http://www.divx.com/en/hd (on the right side). it is in 1080p
Sadly, only the stock (and stock-derived) ROMs can play these videos for now . It's choppy on everything else (CM7 in my instance).
My fren who own a iphone4 show off that he can lock his phone using a swipe gesture [email protected]@anyway thx for the tips^^
Take off your screen protector and shove the screen to whom your showing it too.
Nah really, look for a high def David Attenborough's wildlife video that your SGS II can playback and enjoy the jealousy of their face.
Looks really good!
Not sure if it is only me.
Recent weeks I noticed at times when I click on video in the youtube app, the video and preview shot and topic is different. Even for those under subscriptions, e.g, I click on 1 video under samsungmobile subscription, the video played is disney's mickey mouse.
Weird.
Any1 else gt such issues? Or any1 know of any solution?

How to play YouTube video in background on CM9/P500? I can't find any app that makes that! D:
Maybe we need flash for background reproduction? If yes, anyone managed to run cooked flash app with ICS?

We couldn't, flash player for O1 isn't supported from Adobe. We need a cooked version of it, but atm no one of the existing cooked version works on ICS D:

Yes, on cm9 O1.
When you open the video there would be a add to playlist option at top. Use it and then play from playlist, only music will play.

I will try it again later. There's non problem, if i look for a background player it's perfect if it plays only music!

I have u verse and had no idea you could get your recorded shows onto the phone through the app. I know the app has its own on demand though.

Yeah on my one s I can go to my recordings in the u verse app and watch them on my phone. Maybe it only works on ICS.
When I click the watch button on the nexus it plays the sound but there's no picture.

OK, I see what you're taking about. If u verse also has that show on mobile on demand, it'll let you access it from the recorded shows portion. With that said though, all I get is audio on both video resolutions. Funny how it works on an at&t branded phone... Cause of worked on my vivid too.

Hey everyone, I have an issue with the latest version of Google Play Music. Music added after the major app update (the one after I/O) will have album covers with a yellow/greenish tint. I have tried clearing app data and rebooting, and the images look perfect on my computer and the phone gallery.
I added a few screenshots so you can have a look at what I mean. There's also a comparison between the same image in Play Music and the gallery. The difference can't be seen on my PC screen, but if you download the pics to the phone the difference is easily spottable.
Do any of you have this? To verify, you should add new music to the app, otherwise you'll see no difference.
Nope it's fine on mine....

Have you added new music since the I/O update? It's easier to see if the album art has a white background.
